Spanish terms
Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2010 11:35 pmHi Guys,
BIG favour to ask. A real teacher finally moved to my province who graduated from the National Art Institute in Havana and we our first lesson Thursday. It was great but his English is a little better than my Spanish [I know about 6 words]. Like I said a great lesson but here were a few blank stares between us.
I can buy a translation book for the easy stuff or use google [hand, finger etc.] but I don’t trust that for the conga specific terms [ open tone, slap, heel/toe etc.]. I think I know some correct terms but would rather get the ‘for sure’ right words. Anyone up for the challenge of providing a basic conga vocabulary I can use?
He’s here for the next 11 months and I plan to try to make it at least twice a month and we are in touch via email - I’d like to send him a vocabulary as this might help him with the rest of us ‘gringos’ [one of my 6 words].
For the record I did search “Spanish” in the forum and 33 pages later didn’t find the list I’d hoped to find.
Gracias hermanos [2 more of the 6 words I know ... I’m not counting "¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!"]
